Bab 173: Speedster'd
David had few words to describe the situation he'd found himself in. Thankfully, he knew them well. "Holy shit!" yelps as he activates his Sandevistan for the nth time, barely pulling himself and Lucy in his arms out of the range of the Ninja's blade.
Even as he carries her away at superspeed he could see the Corpo ass hole's eyes following him, their body moving as if almost able to keep up with his Cyberware. He glances to the side just as Ori yeets one of his opponents off of the roof and starts beating the crap out of the other.
Time resumes as he's left breathing hard on the ledge of the roof, Lucy shook her head to remove her dizziness from the erratic, rapid movements. "Any help...?" he can't help but ask her.
"I'm trying! Their ICE systems aren't for show!" she grouses, drawing her pistol and firing at one of the charging ninjas, only for them to deflect the shots with ease.
David's forced to use the Sandevistan yet again as the enemy nears, thankfully, once time resumes Lucy manages to hack into the guy's systems.
The Arasaka ninja gives a multilayered scream and grips his head for a moment, before spinning and glaring at his comrade. "MY BLADE WILL TEAR YOUR THROAT, VILE DOG!" he suddenly roars and ferociously chops down at the man.
*Clang!*
"Bakada! Ki o torinaoshite!" the ninja roars as he blocks the strike, only to yelp as he receives a hard kick to the chest, sending him flying back and hitting a large air conditioning unit.
David thought he'd have a moment of reprieve as the duo fought, but that notion is quickly discarded as he and Lucy hear a scraping behind them... Turning, they spot the ninja that'd earlier been thrown from the roof climbing over the edge like a spider with his mantis claws extended.
"D-did he just climb up!?"
"Yep..." Lucy mutters, firing a few shots that pepper the man, who was about to go assist his comrade who was getting his head stomped on by Ori...
"Did you have to draw his attention!? I don't know how many more I can do." David tiredly mutters.
"You'll manage." Lucy states, eyes glowing with data which causes the ninja's legs to all but stop working, forcing him to crawl towards them than an enraged cripple.
David lets down Lucy and starts firing at him, but his bullets all just bounce off of the guy's armoured visor... Seeing the futility in his actions, he glances around for something else before activating his Sandevistan.
*BANG!*
In a fraction of a second David's form flashes, leaving him standing atop the ninja with Ori's heavy sniper smoking in his hands, having fired it point blank at the back of the crawler's head.
"T-that's one down...?" he shakily utters, half wanting to vomit from the blood and brain matter covering the floor around him.
*Crash!*
He and Lucy both look over as Ori throws a ninja with a flattened skull at the other two who were still fighting. The corpse crashes into both of them, allowing him to behead the one who still retained his senses with a stolen sword.
"HOROBIRU-!" the last remaining ninja shouts but is forced to duck as Ori throws a sword at him. Unfortunately, that was merely to distract away from the Monowire that'd caught his leg.
*BZZCH!*
*SHRIIK!*
"AARARRGHHHH!!"
The Monowire tears through the armoured leg, reducing it to many chunks of flesh that hit the floor with a wet squelch. This is followed up by lassoing the wire around the screaming ninja's neck, finally putting an end to him.
"Shit, those guys were some tough bastards-"
*Blllarrghh!*
Ori glances over at David who was spewing chunks over the rooftop, Lucy idly patting his back as she continued to scan the surroundings. "You guys alright?"
She nods, "Yeah, just let him get it out of his system..."
He nods, turning his attention to the comms. With the ninjas dead the jamming had finally stopped, Kiwi and Sasha should've noticed the disconnect anyway, but he was pretty sure the ninjas wouldn't attack anywhere else. After all, this was the only rooftop with a direct line of sight on Wakako and Susie through the church window.
[Just got attacked by Ninjas, everyone got out ok though. What's the sitch?] - Ori
[You telling me we missed out on the fun!?] - Rebecca
[Valentinos scrambling to get their systems back online, no direct attack but attempts to sabotage tech on the street level. VIPs should be finishing up soon though, consider helping to escort VIP B back.] - Kiwi
[Got it.] - Ori
Ori walks over and grabs the sniper from the ground, inwardly thanking god that David hadn't thrown up on it... Even if he had dropped it on what was left of some guy's obliterated head. "We're gonna be helping escort Wakako back once talks are done... Clean yourself up too, I'm not letting you meet her smelling of vomit, that's not a first impression you wanna make."
David just groans and holds a thumb up over his head.
"Hey, think you can aim for that guy wearing the green jacket?" Lucy wonders, pointing to some poor sod on the street far below them.
While they're doing that, Ori loots a katana from a corpse, tying the scabbard under one of his revolver holsters. The swords themselves were all obviously unmarked and basic, since the ninjas themselves held no indication that could lead back to Arasaka, regardless of how blatant it was.
He planned to have someone take the corpses and strip them of tech too but that had to wait for later. Maybe there was enough to salvage for a couple suits of armour, he was sure Rebecca could get behind that... Or maybe not? She seemed to like to show off her skin despite everything.
Sasha would probably like it at least.
